Spiritus Domini. Wisdom I
THE
Spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world, alleluia: and
that
which

alleluia,
alleluia,
alleluia. /Ps. /68 Let God arise, and let his enemies be

COLLECT.
O
GOD, who as at this time didst teach the hearts of thy
faithful
people,
by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit: grant us by
the
same
Spirit to have a right judgement in all things, and evermore
to
rejoice
in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus
our
Savior,
who liveth and reigneth with
thee, in the unity of the same
Spirit,
one God, world without end. Amen.
EPISTLE.
Acts 2:1-11
1
WHEN the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with
one
accord
in one place.
2
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
mighty
wind,
and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and
it
sat
upon each of them.
4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with
other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
every
nation
under heaven.
6
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and
were
confounded,
because that every man heard them speak in his own
language.
7
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to
another, Behold,
are
not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were
born?
9
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
Mesopotamia,
and
in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya
about
Cyrene,
and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our
tongues the
wonderful
works of God.
SEQUENCE.
Veni, Sancte Spiritus.
Come,
thou Holy Spirit, come: and from thy celestial home send thy
light
and
brilliancy.
Come,
thou father of the poor, come who givest all our
store, come the
soul's
true radiancy.
Come,
of comforters the best, of the soul the sweetest guest,
sweetly
and
refreshingly.
Come,
in labour rest most sweet, shade and coolness in the
heat, comfort
in
adversity.
Thou
who art the Light most blest, come fulfil their inmost breast,
who
believe
most faithfully.
For
without thy Godhead's dower, man hath nothing in his power, save
to
work
iniquity.
What
is filthy make thou pure, what is wounded work its cure, water
what
is
parched and dry.
Gently
bend the stubborn will, warm to life the heart that's
chill,
guide
who goeth erringly.
Fill
thy faithful who adore, and confess thee evermore, with
thy
sevenfold
mystery.
Here
thy grace and virtue send, grant salvation in the end, and
in
heaven
felicity. Amen. Amen.
GOSPEL.
Saint John 14:15-31
15
AT that time: Jesus said unto his disciples: If ye love me, keep
my
commandments.
16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter,
that
he may abide with you for ever;
17
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because
it
seeth
him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth
with
you, and shall be in you.
18
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye see me:
because
I live, ye shall live also.
20
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and
I
in
you.
21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it
is that loveth
me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and
I will love
him,
and will manifest myself to him.
22
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it
that thou wilt
manifest
thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep
my
words:
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and
make
our
abode with him.
24
He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which
ye
hear
is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
you.
26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send
in
my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to
your
remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
world
giveth,
give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let
it
be
afraid.
28
Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto
you.
If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto
the
Father:
for my Father is greater than I.
29
And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is
come
to
pass, ye might believe.
30
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this
world
cometh,
and hath nothing in me.
31
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the
Father
gave
me commandment, even so I do.
OFFERTORY.
/Ps. /68 Stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought
in
us: for thy temple's sake at Jerusalem, shall kings bring
presents
unto
thee, Alleluia.
SECRET.
SANCTIFY,
O Lord, we beseech thee, these our oblations: that being
enlightened
by the beams of thy Holy Spirit, our hearts may be
purified
from
all evil.
COMMUNION.
/Acts 2 /Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of
a
rushing
might wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting,
alleluia:
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak
the wonder works of God, Alleluia. Alleluia.
POSTCOMMUNION.
WE
humbly beseech thee, O Lord, that thou wouldest send
down upon our
hearts
the healthful Spirit of thy grace: and, that we may bring
forth
fruit
unto thee, pour upon us the inward dew of his blessing.
